Subject: powerpc/eeh: Fix invalid cached PE primary bus

From: Gavin Shan <gwshan@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit a3aa256b7258b3d19f8b44557cc64525a993b941 upstream.

The PE primary bus cannot be got from its child devices when having
full hotplug in error recovery. The PE primary bus is cached, which
is done in commit <05ba75f84864> ("powerpc/eeh: Fix stale cached primary
bus"). In eeh_reset_device(), the flag (EEH_PE_PRI_BUS) is cleared
before the PCI hot remove. eeh_pe_bus_get() then returns NULL as the
PE primary bus in pnv_eeh_reset() and it crashes the kernel eventually.

This fixes the issue by clearing the flag (EEH_PE_PRI_BUS) before the
PCI hot add. With it, the PowerNV EEH reset backend (pnv_eeh_reset())
can get valid PE primary bus through eeh_pe_bus_get().
